Abstract Background Primary progressive aphasia (PPA) diagnostic criteria underestimate the complex presentation of semantic (sv) and logopenic (lv) variants, in which symptoms partially overlap, mixed clinical (mixed-PPA) heterogenous profile (lvPPA +) are frequent. Conceptualization similarities differences these conditions is still scarce. Methods Lexical, semantic, phonological, working memory errors from nine language tasks sixty-seven PPA were analyzed using Profile Analysis based on...
Background/Aim We present a clinical-neuroimaging study in series of patients with clinical diagnosis semantic variant primary progressive aphasia (svPPA), the aim to provide clinical-functional correlations cognitive and behavioral manifestations at single-subject level. Methods performed neuropsychological investigations, 18F-FDG-PET group analysis, an optimized SPM voxel-based approach, correlation analyses. A measurement white matter integrity by means diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) was...
Digital technologies have opened new opportunities for psychological testing, allowing computerized testing tools to be developed and/or paper and pencil translated devices. The question that rises is whether these implementations may introduce some technology-specific effects considered in neuropsychological evaluations. Two core aspects been investigated this work: the efficacy of tests clinical ecology their administration (the ability measure real-world test performance), specifically...
During picture naming, the ease with which humans generate words is dependent upon context in they are named. For instances, naming previously presented items results facilitation. Instead, a semantically related to previous displays persistent interference effects (i.e., cumulative semantic interference, CSI). The neural correlates of CSI still unclear and it matter debate whether control, or cognitive control more general, necessary for resolution CSI. We carried out an event-related fMRI...
There are few available methods for qualitatively evaluating patients with primary progressive aphasia. Commonly adopted approaches time-consuming, of limited accuracy or designed to assess different patient populations. This paper introduces a new clinical test-the Mini Linguistic State Examination-which was uniquely enable clinician and subclassify both classical mixed presentations The adoption novel assessment method (error classification) greatly amplifies the information that can be...
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) can be associated with a spectrum of cognitive and behavioural symptoms, but the related patterns focal cortical atrophy in non-demented ALS patients remain largely unknown. We enrolled 48 26 healthy controls for comprehensive neuropsychological assessment magnetic resonance exam. Behavioural impairment was defined on basis data-driven multi-domain approach 21 patients. Averaged thickness 74 bilateral brain regions used as measure atrophy. Cortical...
A neurobiological framework of bi- or multilingual neurocognitive development must consider the following: (i) longitudinal behavioral and neural measures; (ii) brain developmental constraints across structure function; (iii) global competence in a homogeneous social environment. In this study, we investigated whether yields early changes executive attention control mechanisms their underlying structures frontal-striatal system, such as dorsal anterior cingulate cortex/pre-supplemental area...
Background: The embodied cognition approach, as applied to concrete knowledge, is centred on the role of perceptual and motor aspects experience. To extend framework abstract some studies have suggested that further dimensions, such affective or social experiences, are relevant for semantic representations concepts. objective this study develop a measure can quantitatively capture multidimensional nature Methods: We used dimension-rating methods, known be suitable, account concepts, new...
Amnestic mild cognitive impairment ( aMCI ) is a clinical condition characterized by memory in the absence of any other and commonly associated with high conversion to Alzheimer's disease. Recent evidence shows that executive functions selective attention mechanisms could also be impaired . In this study, we investigated performance differences (i.e., reaction times [ RT s] accuracy) between group participants age‐matched healthy individuals on attentional network task ANT focusing...
